Amazing tour! - The tour was amazing! The bluest water I’ve ever seen and it’s cold but definitely doable. Nikolas was our guide and he was great. Very lively and made everyone feel comfortable with the snorkeling.

Once-in-a-lifetime dive - Had a fabulous time diving Silfra with DIVE.IS! Pickup and transfer to the dive site was simple and well-organized. Once at the site, I met my guide—Konrad—who was welcoming and accommodating. He helped get me geared up, did complete safety checks and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with my equipment. I usually like to use my own gear, but since I was only doing this one dive in Iceland, I rented everything. I was happy with the quality of the gear and the variety of sizes available for drysuits, undergarments, masks, gloves, etc. Konrad was awesome during the dive; he was attentive to my status and took lots of cool photos to remember the experience. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking this one off your dive bucket list if you have the chance—shout out to DIVE.IS and Konrad for a great day in the water!

Silfra - I had the pleasure of diving Silfra with Henry today, and it did not disappoint. Silfra is incredible. I've never experienced visibility like this. Although I found the dive to be cold, I must say I really enjoyed it. I will be referring all my friends to dive with dive.is. Everything went smoothly and was easy to deal with. Henry was an absolute legend, providing a fantastic dive brief and excellent knowledge of the dive site. I will definitely be returning in the future to dive because of Henry.

Dry Suit Certification and Open water dives with Johannes - Johannes was an amazing guide and teacher for my dry suit certification. He was a school teacher prior to being a dive master and that background really shows. He was calm, confident, and really took his time to make sure that everyone was taken care of. Thanks for an awesome experience
